[Preface]

The bell rings in 2017. In the new year, we are all full of good expectations. If you want to send a special gift to your friends in the New Year, but you are still looking for it, here I introduce a new member of the Xiaomi family: the universal remote control. With it, you can control all the appliances in your home anytime and anywhere. It is not expensive, but it is very interesting, Doesn't that sound promising? So let's have a video for everyone to see!

[Appearance | Details]

The packaging box of the Xiaomi universal remote control is the same as the original Xiaomi mobile phone. It uses an environmentally friendly paper box, with only an "MI" logo on the surface, square and upright, which is suitable for packaging as a gift!

From the parameters behind, we can see that this remote control uses WIFI to connect to the network, and the transmission mode is infrared.

When the box cover is opened, the round universal remote control comes into view.

The family photo is very simple, including remote control, power cord and instructions.

A QR code downloaded from the "Xiaomi Smart Home" APP was pasted on the surface of the remote control. If you don't want to see it, you can't do it.

There is also a ring of protective film around, but it must be removed before use, otherwise it will affect the infrared.

There is a circle of fine holes at the bottom of the remote control, which is beautiful and can play the role of heat dissipation.

There is also a ring of anti slip mat in the middle, which is very considerate.

Uncover the paper sticker of the QR code, the surface of Xiaomi Universal Remote Control is as smooth as a mirror, which is particularly attractive.

Xiaomi universal remote control has a 360 degree omnidirectional infrared emission angle, and basically the electrical appliances in the whole room can be covered.

The charging port is the micro USB port of the standard Android phone.

The original charging line is flat design, about 1m long.

The position of the indicator light is relatively concealed.

There is also a "Reset" reset jack, which can be used to restore factory settings when necessary.

[Configuration | Experience]

There is a hint in the manual that millet universal remote control needs to be placed in an open place to prevent blocking infrared emission.

When the power supply is just connected but not configured, the indicator light flashes orange.

Although there is only one indicator light, the current status can be judged by the color, flicker frequency or constant light, which needs to refer to the instructions.

Next, you need to scan the QR code to install the "Xiaomi Smart Home" APP. Of course, as an old user of Xiaomi, this step can be omitted.

Enter the APP, click the plus sign in the upper right corner of the screen to add a device. After a few seconds, you can automatically find the universal remote control.

Click the remote control you just found, enter the WIFI password, and it will automatically connect. After the connection is successful, you can select the location of the device. I choose the "living room", and then you can see Xiaomi Universal Remote Control in "My Device"!

After the connection is successful, the status indicator turns blue and is normally on. The remote control panel I most often use in the living room is the TV and the millet box. Here's a demonstration of using the universal remote control to replace these two remote control panels.

Click the universal remote control in the APP, and then click "Model Search" to find the TV brand in your home.

Enter the TV remote control interface and try to see if various functions respond. Anyway, I can completely control the TV when I first enter. From this point of view, the code library built in Xiaomi Universal Remote Control is quite good.

Then add a remote control of Xiaomi box. As Xiaomi's own product, the first one on the remote control selection interface is the "Xiaomi remote control", which naturally has no problem.

It's much more convenient to use your mobile phone to watch the play without looking for the remote control panel everywhere!

The added remote control will be displayed in the list and can be deleted when not needed.

As an intelligent device, it is also necessary to upgrade frequently. Xiaomi Universal Remote will automatically push a new version. When I first got it, I upgraded it. It's very convenient.

One of the biggest benefits of Xiaomi Universal Remote Control is that it can control the home appliances even if it is not at home, as long as it has the network, which is its value. Think about how nice it would be to turn on the air conditioner and open the door to enjoy the cool when you get home in the hot summer!

[Conclusion]

After I introduced the new member of the millet family, did you also want to try? In any case, I am very satisfied with this little guy in the last few days. It is compact and cute, has a wide range of remote controls, and has a complete code base. Basically, the existing appliances at home can be controlled accurately, and also supports remote control. In addition, small functions such as timing switches are also very practical. In general, it is a good choice to give gifts in the New Year!
